Conceptual proposal for the use of data for risk assessment and decision-making support in the transport of dangerous goods by road

The transport of dangerous goods by road poses serious risks to the population and the environment. The consequences of a spill depend on various factors such as the type of hazardous substance or weather conditions. This article addresses the data needs for assessing the risks caused by the transport of dangerous goods by road. By analyzing relevant studies and documents, the basic variables that are needed for a comprehensive risk assessment in a specific area have been identified and categorized. These variables can also be used to support decision making in the response phase of a crisis event. The aim of this paper is to propose a conceptual model of a system for the use of data for risk assessment and decision-making support in the field of transport of dangerous goods by road.
